Huck Brown announced in a very high-profile manner that he has recruited more than 300 game developers, and he also promised to give game developers the greatest freedom and capital investment. They will consider changing from focusing on the physical industry to focusing on the game software itself.
.
The first area they plan to enter is the personal PC gaming industry.
Before the release of gs1, Huck Brown's new company released their first game on the PC.
This is a very popular first-person shooting game on the PC, and it is also a game based on a real-life World War II story. The game tells the story of the Normandy invasion of the United States.
It can be said that this story is familiar in the history of World War II. It has been told by too many people in movies, TV shows and novels.
Especially since this world is a world with a very strong cultural industry, there are more cultural works of this kind.
However, the game industry has almost never been involved in this story.
Huck Brown accurately grasped this point. At the same time, with the joint suggestions of the developers, three hundred employees went through half a year of crazy development. For this reason, Huck Brown also relied on the money from selling some stocks to buy the current largest company.
Developed with a ten-year license to the popular Unreal Engine.
In this way, more than 300 people, coupled with the most powerful game engine in the world, developed such a realistic first-person shooting game in half a year.
This has a huge impact on players.
Especially players in Europe and the United States, they are the most sympathetic to this period of history.
During this period of history, they can experience the heroic deeds of their ancestors and gain a sense of identity.
The perspective of the first-person shooter game is just right for players to experience the war story personally. It has a catalyst-like effect and immediately detonated the American market.
PC sales reached 200,000 in the first week alone.
Thanks to the openness of the PC, physical production costs have been greatly reduced. You only need to copy a DVD through the disc factory to sell it, and the most important thing is that there is no need to pay any so-called game development royalties to any manufacturer.
.
Except for the cost of the pressure plate, all other income belongs to Huck Brown.
Then, he proudly distributed all the money to more than 300 of his subordinates, and promised them that except for necessary expenses, he would not take any money from the game income within six months, and would distribute it all to his employees.
This is simply a rebellious move in the American market, and almost no other American company would do this.
But just because of this, Huck Brown immediately gathered traction in the United States.
Then, in the following weeks, the sales of this game remained at 200,000 per week. A month later, he announced in a high profile that it would enter other regional markets, especially high-consumption regions like Europe.
In this way, Huck Brown's new company began to gain a foothold in the personal PC market, and also had the ambition to expand around the world.
As for Youxing Electronic Entertainment at this time, they continued to do their own publicity work step by step, and did not seem to have any reaction due to the rise of Huck Brown.
At least in the short term, Huck Brown cannot pose any threat to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
The other party's focus is on the PC market. This market is only a secondary pursuit of Zhuyouxing. Now the focus is still on game consoles.
Unless Huck Brown wants to make a new game console at some point, Bamboo Star will not pay attention to it.
And it's hard to say that such a simple game developer will log the game on Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's machine sooner or later. After all, one more channel can make more money, and the two parties will not be in a competitive relationship at least for a short time.
While Zhu Yuxing was concentrating on the development of Final Fantasy 7, the announcement of gs1 never stopped.
At the beginning, gs1 only focused on promoting the performance of the console and the visual effects of playing games.
Just these two promotions can already attract many players.
Immediately afterwards, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment slowly announced other exclusive features of gs1, further widening the gap with other corporate game consoles.
First of all, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will focus on promoting the gs1 game controller throughout the month of February.
This time the game controller has dual joysticks and four shoulder buttons, and through the cooperative operation of the dual joysticks and shoulder buttons, the dimension of the player's control of the character is greatly increased.
Only then did other game console companies realize that in addition to game content, innovation on game consoles can also bring new breakthroughs to games.
The gyroscope that came with the GBA cartridge was one of the inspirations.
This time the dual joysticks have given new inspiration to game development.
Many game developers who saw the twin joysticks for the first time were all bright-eyed, and they imagined many game development ideas in an instant.
Then in March, Youxing Electronic Entertainment focused its promotion on game console discs.
Because of this change of carrier, the production cost of game carriers can be saved by at least half, which is a good thing for small and medium-sized game developers. Moreover, this time there are no restrictions on the disc manufacturing of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
Decentralize the power of production and encourage other manufacturers to go to other optical disc factories to produce games with only the authorization code.
As the game industry enters a new era, Youxing Electronic Entertainment's factories are gradually unable to meet the mass production of massive game entities.
For Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it is not easy to work as a middleman by contacting various factories. If you have the time, it would be more efficient to delve more into the development of game consoles and game development.
Moreover, the optical disc itself has no technical content. As long as it cooperates with several optical disc production factories, other game developers can directly go to these factories to produce optical discs.
This additional measure has been welcomed by many developers. It saves them another amount of money. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. They will be more active in developing games for the gs1 game console.
In addition to reducing the cost of game production with optical discs, this optical disc drive also allows users to play optical discs such as DVDs and VCDs. You can even use it as an audio-visual entertainment product.
This also gives some players an excuse to buy this thing.
Mom and Dad, I heard that you want to buy a device that can play CDs? Well, I happen to have a brand that I particularly recommend. This product is very good.
Mom and Dad, please believe in my vision, I can swear to you that it will definitely be worth every penny.
No, no, no, I am not doing it for myself, I am doing it for the whole family. gs1 is definitely the best choice for mom and dad.
